and director riskin. david hooper, serve as the president of the new mission terrace improvement association, a neighborhood on the j line south of 280, alongside balboa park. i could spend five minutes talking about how much i appreciate the effort at muni, but what i would really like to draw to your attention, something that director riskin mentioned about the historic cars going back to cameron beach yard. prior to their removal, they had been like all rail or trolly service lines, on church street and san jose avenue, between there and cameron beach yard. the j line occasionally has challenges regarding service. switch backs at 30th street or glen park leave people stranded. even with the best of efforts to try to get them close with the follower picking up the folks. i would like to know whether the historic cars on pull in and pull out trips from cameron beach yard and to it will be in service when they are on the j line. i say this in part because i was also an operator at muni in my career there,

. >> chair brinkman, members, director riskin, thank you. the matter of scooters was brought up and i'm very passion at about the scooter person as i as a person of disabilities feel the scooters are helpful to me. as a last-mile solution. i do not see them detracting from my use of muni. you generally get a $38 monthly pass from me ever month i'm here. so you are getting paid. i don't think you need to worry about that. i personally, in my time of seeing caters scooters have not witnesses irresponsible behavior. i've talked to some people who have ridden scooters. find them to be pretty considerate, agree able people. type of people i would be willing to share a lunch. as we plan for these scooters to come, that the permits, approval or denial, should not be based on personal feelings. if a company approaches and they meet the requirements of law, objectively, in the permit must be granted. i know there's a lot of bad feelings outhere t we cannot let it stand in the way of innovation. in programs that will help me, as a person with disabili

ed riskin, head of mta, but today's approach, we know is the way to go. we have to be a more resilient city. we talk a lot about prevention, don't make yourself an easy target, but there are other things we can do to be more resilient and prevent the crimes from happening in the first place. the things that have been implemented here, the fencing installed, to stop unauthorized entry, the lighting and the surveillance cameras to discourage would-be thieves, this is a team effort. and this is what collaboration brings to the table. again, go back to mayor farrell and his leadership and before him, mayor lee in order to force this issue, force a collaborative partnership that has led us to some success this year. we are working hard to ctinue the effort as the mayor said. this is going to be spread to all the city parking garages. although the deployment is part of that factor, we'll do what is necessary inms of havin the visibity and the presence to make sure that people know we're out here. that was part of our doubling of the foot the people that are apt

. >> reporter: ed riskin is the director of the buses. he said buses that currently stop at the terminal will be moved to their new home tomorrow. san francisco's muni is the first to use the terminal. >> we're getting in there in advance of the full facility opening just because our part was ready. we didn't want to wait. we've spent a lot of money and waited a long time to have the facility. my feeling was let's get in there as soon as it's ready for us. >> reporter: in august other bus lines like ac transit will start service to the terminal and it's been a long time since bay area commuters have seen a transit station looking so clean and so good. state senator scott weiner says that buses don't get enough credit. >> i'll be honest. when we have these transit debates and fights whether here or up in sacramento or elsewhere, i feel like buses get the short end of the straw and it was disappointing because it matters so much and across the country it's buses that are carrying particularly transit dependent people. >> reporter: the termi

important day it's good do we want special solutions if you do what the people who lead the quest riskin or do we believe in european solutions and cooperation our policies in the last year or so have started to produce results migrants maureen to stop them so we're talking about numbers that are presently manageable. to bring back so that's what the people will we shouldn't get into a panic state of minds and all you need in this instance is when we talk about accidental border protection i'm fine with the idea of migrants stocking up the countries and six hundred downplay north africa of the concert on but only to talk with these countries if we can do that sort of that have been investing a lot in africa now member states need to do the same you know it's about that you really no longer has a need for words and statements we need concrete actions today do you. also coming up tonight a summit between u.s. president trump and russian president putin next month in finland and we can imagine what you're thinking even trump's closest advisers are talking about that lingering suspicion of h

you kn, it never hurts to write letters to our general manager, to ed riskin, to our board, bevan, nick, latifah and just letting the now how happy, rilled youre with this and love to see the program continue. i think that would be fantastic. >> thank you. >> co-chair blacksten: all right. >> thank you so much for coming. i called you last minute and you jumped at the opportunity. as a regular bart customer for the past 12 years, coming from west oakland to san francisco to civic center, i personally want to thank you, because i've gotten way less sick since you started that program. there is also this area, it's also high employment area for people with disabilities. and we also are beginning to realize that sometimes we have to wait in line to use the elevators because everybody else wants to use the elevator. so it's no longer just a disability access point, it's a universal access point. we have seniors, we have bikers. so now up until that program started, nobody wanted to use the elevator. and iwa just the cleanliness, but also the safety. over the last two years, i've been assaul
